Dead Red Velvet retroactive debut remastered

The debut release from Dead Red Velvet, The Ghostly Divide, picks up where Karl Mohr Audio-Yo left off, with a grave shift towards heavy, mood-laden songwriting. Flirting with gothic rock, Mohr’s 6-song collection of dark, slow burners features his best work from 1997-2001. For fans of dark ambient, goth rock, dark electronic, 80s alternative.

News

Tape Life Records is currently preoccupied with the re-compiling and re-mastering of the entire Karl Mohr back-catalog. Here’s an example of a rare track that was omitted.

Multibeat Records reborn as Tape Life Records

On January 15, 2015, Karl Mohr ended Multibeat Records, and has moved his music releases to his new label Tape Life Records. The entire back-catalog of around thirty releases is being distilled, re-mastered and re-packaged into ten new albums: a solid gold survey of the years 1987-1997 as Karl Mohr Audio-Yo, and the ongoing fracas that followed, from 1997 to the present incarnation as Dead Red Velvet.

Shopping

Tape Life Records has Dead Red Velvet music, both tangible and digital, and some merch too!

Karl Mohr began playing live November 1st, 1991. This first concert, with Robin Buckley, was a bombastic diatribe of psychedelic industrial noise at a gay biker bar in St. Catharines, Ontario. Subsequent shows have been no less esoteric. Mohr’s live appearances have always tried on new angles, ideas and configurations. The following recordings are from the Karl Mohr & the Fallen Angels period (2004-2009):
